India Cuts Commercial LPG Cylinder Prices by Over Rs 200 in Delhi and Kolkata
The Indian government has reduced prices of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders by over Rs 200 in Delhi and Kolkata, effective August 1, providing relief to restaurants, hotels, and other businesses. Prices dropped by Rs 202 in Delhi and Rs 209 in Kolkata, while domestic LPG prices remain unchanged. This marks the second consecutive monthly cut following earlier hikes linked to supply disruptions from the West Asia conflict. Officials highlighted efforts to diversify LPG imports and maintain adequate supplies amid geopolitical tensions.
